I do 1,000 words a day. Stephen King does 2,000 words a day. Flannery O'Connor did three hours of writing a day. John Grisham did one yellow legal pad a day (when he was still a lawyer). Ernest Hemingway wrote every morning, didn't have a goal, but kept track of his word counts so that if he took a day off, he could compensate for it on another day.
